Foam roll lats

Lie on your side with the foam roller just below your armpit and your arm extended. You can roll here from side to side by gently tilting your torso forwards and backwards, staying on one spot for a few and then adjusting your position on the roller to find a new spot. You can also adjust your feet so you can lift your hips off the floor and roll up and down the muscle. If you are new to foam rolling – it does get less ouchy when done regularly, I promise! If you have really tight lats, this might feel uncomfortable, but it should be a bearable and ‘hurts so good’ kind of pain that you would get from a sports massage. Focus on the tight spots but go gently! If it feels too much, you can just hold on tight spots instead of rolling.
